Dennis De Los Muerto Has Variations!

Happy Thanksgiving Rick Astley!

Good morning folks, and Happy Thanksgiving.
A few minutes ago I witnessed what has to be called the most epic Rickroll in the history of Rickrolling! I was sitting on my couch, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade when the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float stops in front of Macy's for it's featured song. All the Foster's Friends start singing when out of no where, the song stops! And the unmistakable intro to our beloved Never Gonna Give You Up starts to play! Then out of the float comes Mr.Rick Astley himself! In the flesh! and he begins to sing!
At the begining of the show I believe they said that 3million people were at the parade today with an estimated 50million people watching at home. All of those people witnessed this mother of all Rickrolls!
You know I don't want to get sentimental or anything, but whenever something like this happens, some bizzar internet phenomenon hits mainstream America, more than anything else it makes me feel like we are a world community. Rickrolling started as a little inside joke amongst us folks who spend way too much time on the internet, but it sort of brought to light how many of those people are really around, and how much influence we have. I'm sure you all remember when the New York Mets were trying to pick a new team song and the votes for Never Gonna Give You Up came pouring in and obliterated any other song's chance at it. Of course the Mets chickened out and didn't use it, bastards.
But anything like this, whether it be this incident, or the Weezer video for Pork and Beans, or even Chuck Norris's endorsment of Mike Huckabee for president, though neither of them really got it, it makes me feel like as a global society we are sharing in these really strange ideas, these inside jokes shared by millions. I think in a weird way it is spreading friendship and brotherhood through these very strange shared experiences. It warms your heart in the way an obscure reference from a beloved movie on a stranger's T-shirt does.
But again maybe I am being a little sentimental about the whole thing. I just think that the internet is bringing us together in a strange and wonderful way, and I know that is something to be thankful for...
I have to go now, the shmaltz of that last line is gonna make me puke.

Meet Dennis De Los Muerto!

Hey folks!
As promised I wanted to share with you a little character that I came up with in my daily doodlings and that has become something of a regular on every notepad and spare piece of paper I own.
Meet Dennis...



This is Dennis as he was originally drawn in my journal on the first of July of this year. Just a sort of cute, sort of spooky little character amongst all of the other random little scribblings in the margins of my book. But there was something about him, I think it was his wiggly, Zoidbergian mouth, that made him a recurrence in my sketchpad.
Since that first doodle he has changed a bit...



And has definitely taken on a specific personality...



So he will be popping up from time to time on the blog with a few words for all my freaky darlings! Hope you enjoy!

Fight Club # 2

I don't like E.T. I never liked E.T. I think it is stupid. Mac and Me is the superior film. Did E.T. have a kid in a wheelchair flying off a cliff? Yeah I didn’t think so…
E.T. sucks! There. I said it. Since none of you had the guts to say it.
